The SP800S is an innovative and compact
subwoofer designed for constant voltage,
parallel connection to a distributed system.
It is ideal for music reinforcement for business
applications. It can be flush-mounted into
standard framed wall, a drop ceiling, or
surface mounted on any flat surface.
The high-power transducer is a unique 8"
carbon fiber woofer.
Connections are made to a terminal strip
connector with a parallel input/output that
allows for easy daisy-chaining. A built-in
70V/100V transformer provides selectable
wattage taps.
The enclosure is constructed of MDF board
with six M5 threaded inserts that can be used
with a variety of optional installation hardware.

Rear Panel Features
and Controls
1. This rotary control selects the power tap
for the internal constant voltage
transformer. For a 70V system, choices are
4, 7.5, 15, 30, and 60W. For a 100V
system, choices are 8W, 15W, 30W, and
60W.
2. This terminal strip is used to connect the
speaker wiring to the SP800S. Connect the
amplifier output to the IN screw terminals.
Use the OUT terminals to daisy-chain the
signal to the next speaker in the
distributed system.
Installation
The SP800S can be mounted using the
optional mounting brackets. Optional wall and
ceiling vent grills are also available.
WARNING: Consult a professional rigger or
structural engineer prior to suspending
loudspeakers from a structure not intended
for that use. Always know the working load
limit of the structure supporting the
loudspeaker array. Always make sure that
the rigging hardware minimum rating is at
least five times the actual load.
Connections
To use the terminal strip connector, strip the
speaker wire back about 1/2" inch, loosen the
screws on the terminal strip and wrap the wire
around the screw. Tighten down the screw
with a small slot-head screwdriver.
